Portia de Rossi Covers 'The Advocate' March 2010

Here’s what the 37-year-old actress – and partner of Ellen DeGeneres – had to share with the mag:

On the fight for marriage equality: “I think it’s up to us to save marriage. Up to gay people across the country, seeing as though we’re fighting for it so vehemently. This whole thing has been a wave of excitement and hope, and then it gently falls back into despair. And then it picks us up again. Unfortunately, we’re the ones who have to suffer this – this humiliation, really. There’s kind of a dignity that’s been stripped from us. Gay people are the ones who have to suffer through it – but without it, it won’t change.”

On an Arrested Development movie: “We all want a movie to happen. Just write it already!”
